"Brother Feng, why is that fat pig here too? He seems to be heading to Shengde," Wang Tie looked back and asked in a low voice.
"Shengde is a city distributor; he's there just to stock up, nothing to worry about. Let's go meet Boss Ning later," Yi Feng said calmly.
Though he said this, he was somewhat vigilant in his heart.
Now, he and Zhao Xingye could be considered direct competitors.
If Xifeng Electronics started operating, it would inevitably impact Zhao Xingye's original repair business and even the computer assembly business.
In terms of computer repairs, both stores would definitely offer lower prices than those in Dianke Building, following the same efficient repair advantage route. This constitutes full-scale competition.
The marketplace is like a battlefield, where competition among similar businesses is a matter of life and death.
Business competition is that cruel!
With Zhao Xingye appearing here, Yi Feng was also quietly calculating the potential benefits in his mind.
That fatty Zhao was not a kind and righteous person; on the contrary, he was a businessman who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals for the sake of profit.
The two took the elevator down to the third floor, but Yi Feng continued downward.
"Brother Feng, Boss Ning's store is on the third floor," Wang Tie reminded.
Yi Feng gave him a look and chuckled, "Of course I know. Do you really want to go empty-handed?"
"Let's go downstairs first and make a call. If he's in the store, then we'll buy some gifts before going up."
Wang Tie then realized and laughed sheepishly, scratching his head, "Brother Feng is always so thoughtful!"
Yi Feng went downstairs and called Ning Feipeng.
The call connected quickly.
"Hello, Yi little brother, any business you're looking out for?"
Ning Feipeng's hearty laughter came through the phone.
"Boss Ning, I'm here at Dianke for some errands today and wanted to see if you were in the store. I was hoping to have a couple of teas with you," Yi Feng said with a smile.
"I'm here, always welcome. Just come straight to the store!"
"Alright, see you soon."
After hanging up, Yi Feng and Wang Tie went to a tea shop next to the building and bought tea.
During a meal last time, Yi Feng had subtly inquired about his preferences, knowing he loved to drink tea, especially the richly flavored Pu'er.
This Dayi Pu'er tea, known for its strong aroma and sweet aftertaste, was considered top-quality tea that should suit his taste.
The two tea bricks cost a total of 600 yuan. Although expensive, Yi Feng paid without hesitation.
"Brother Feng, this tea… isn't it too expensive?"
After leaving the tea shop, Wang Tie couldn't help but marvel in a low voice.
Yi Feng shook his head and smiled, "Not at all, just right."
"Wang Tie, gifting is very much an art. If you give something too cheap, it lacks sincerity; too expensive, and it burdens the other person. It all depends on who you're gifting to."
"If it's for securing a big project, even expensive jade, watches, antiques, and paintings need to be given. If the other party accepts, then the deal is almost certainly sealed."
"But for Boss Ning, something too ordinary isn't appropriate, nor is something too expensive. A few hundred yuan's worth of tea is just right."
"Make sure you remember this."
Wang Tie, suddenly enlightened, nodded in understanding.
"Brother Feng, I get it now, I'll remember!"
Yi Feng nodded, smiling, "Alright, let's go to his store."
They went back to the third floor and arrived at Ning Feipeng's store.
Ning Feipeng had been waiting at the store entrance early. He greeted Yi Feng and Wang Tie warmly as they arrived.
"Ha, little brother Yi is here!"
Yi Feng lifted the tea bag in his hand, "I came specially to have tea with you, look, I brought my own tea leaves to share with you."
Ning Feipeng was slightly surprised to see the tea.
This young man is quite thoughtful!
"Hey, you didn't have to bring anything; I already have plenty of tea here, enough to last!"
"You're too polite!"
Yi Feng chuckled, "You couldn't possibly expect me to come empty-handed, could you?"
"Here, this is a rare batch of Dayi Pu'er tea, rich and mellow. Have a taste."
Ning Feipeng's eyes lit up, pleased, "Ha, little brother Yi, how did you know I love old Pu'er? Dayi Pu'er is indeed excellent!"
"Come in, have a seat."
Ning Feipeng led Yi Feng and Wang Tie into the store's guest tea room, where they exchanged pleasantries and then started brewing tea and chatting about various topics.
During the conversation, Yi Feng occasionally probed for information about Ning Feipeng's higher-level distribution relationships.
He learned that Ning Feipeng was quite familiar with a person named Feng Ze from Nanqiao Commerce, from whom he sourced all his machines and components.
They occasionally went fishing together, making them half fishing buddies with a close relationship.
Yi Feng just listened, not in a hurry to ask for help.
As they chatted until lunchtime, Ning Feipeng checked the time, "It's lunchtime, Yi little brother, come on, I'll treat you to a meal."
Yi Feng smiled, "How could I let you treat me? I've already had Wang Tie book a private room. Let's go have a couple of drinks together?"
During their tea chat, he had already asked Wang Tie to call a nearby restaurant to reserve a private room.
Ning Feipeng couldn't help but smile, his appreciation for Yi Feng growing.
This young man really knows his way around the world!
Not something you'd expect from someone his age.
He had a hunch Yi Feng might need his help, but since Yi Feng didn't say, he didn't ask.
If it wasn't something overly difficult, he was more than willing to assist, enjoying the interaction with this young man.
To him, Yi Feng showed immense potential, bound to succeed sooner or later.
"Alright, since you've treated me to tea, I'll gladly accept your liquor, ha!"
The three left the shop, heading to a nearby Cantonese restaurant for lunch.
In the restaurant's private room, with the dishes served and the wine flowing, Yi Feng and Wang Tie took turns toasting Ning Feipeng, who was generous in his responses.
After a few rounds of drinks and dishes, seeing Ning Feipeng slightly tipsy, Yi Feng knew the time was right.
"Boss Ning, to be honest, I came to you today because I hoped you could help me with something," Yi Feng said, smiling.
Hearing this, Ning Feipeng knew the conversation was turning to serious matters, "I guessed you must have something. Don't worry, if I can help, I will, no second thoughts."
Yi Feng was moved by his sincerity.
"As you know, my shop is ready to open, just missing some components and machines. Recently, I've run into some financial issues at home, making funding tight, but opening day is pressing. So, I'm looking to partner with a distributor on a consignment basis."
"I'm not well acquainted with the big bosses in Dianke, making it hard to negotiate consignment terms, so… I was hoping you could introduce me."
Ning Feipeng instantly understood, laughing, "So that's it! I thought it was something more serious!"
"That's easy. Let me introduce you to Feng Ze from Nanqiao Commerce. I'm quite familiar with him. You can have a meal together, chat."
Yi Feng's expression brightened, feeling reassured, and raised his glass, "Thank you, Boss Ning!"
Ning Feipeng toasted, "It's nothing, little brother. Here's to your new store's success, may your business boom!"
